The handicappers with the help of the computer assembled the entrants into seventeen teams of similar standing for the Geelong Performance Coaching Squad Teams Race at Barwon Valley Park on Sunday. The wind gradually strengthened as the race progressed. Tactics came to the fore with some teams electing to use their fastest runner first while other teams decided to use them last.
It was Team 12 consisting of Alison Muscroft, Glenn Wrest and Molly Voss who triumphed by 70 metres from Team 5 with Team 10 a further 90 metres back in third. Voss who anchored the winning team hails from Ballarat and is part of the sponsor’s squad. Fastest times for the day went to Alison Muscroft and Pat Hagan.
